Growing requirements posed by the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is placing new challenges on companies. Recording master data without automated processes requires a massive effort: taking manual measurements and dealing with the resulting errors, which gets expensive. MultiScan helps companies reduce the work involved.
MultiScan records all relevant product master data in one step. It’s fast, precise and audit-proof. Its infrared light curtain and calibratable scales mean MultiScan reliably measures even products with complex shapes – avoiding errors, reducing effort and ensuring that your master data meets legal requirements.

Here, you can find questions and answers on PPWR compliance, master data management and supply chain optimization.
What is the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and who does it apply to?
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will take effect in summer 2026 and replace the current Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive. It applies to all companies that put packaging into circulation, from manufacturers to retailers. The aim of the regulation is to reduce packaging waste, promote recycling and the circular economy, and increase transparency and sustainability in supply chains. MultiScan helps you meet these requirements easily and reliably.
What data has to be recorded for the PPWR?
The PPWR requires the following product master data:
- Dimensions and weight of every pack unit
- Material types and recyclability
- Packaging hierarchies (primary, secondary and tertiary packaging)
- Labeling of hazardous substances
- Digital provision of data for authorities and partners
MultiScan records this data automatically – fast, precisely and audit-proof.
How does MultiScan support compliance with the PPWR?
MultiScan records all master data automatically in just seconds. It scans, measures, weighs, checks and documents products. Additional attributes such as hazardous substance identifiers or packaging hierarchies can be saved in the MultiScan WebApp. The recorded product master data is automatically transmitted to your warehouse through the WebApp or can be imported using a data carrier.
Which products can MultiScan record?
MultiScan is flexible and adapts to your requirements. The system can record rectangular packages just as reliably as complexly shaped products, such as clothing or bulky items. For textiles, the TexPress module is also available for checking their compressibility. Thanks to the integrated measurement technology with an infrared light curtain and calibratable scale, MultiScan captures precise data in seconds – regardless of the product shape or material. It provides exact product master data for every pack unit and forms the basis for a truly optimized supply chain.
